Breath Deep

Breath deep,
Where are you sleep?
Thoughts racing past,
Refusing to slow.
Breath deep,
Listen to silence creep,
Empty halls echoing,
Distant footfalls,
Mind plays tricks,
Trapped here alone,
Heart beats increase.
Once again,
Breath deep,
Meditation falters,
At the count of three,
Why grief, why, just let me be,
Silence sounds so loud,
Lost, hidden, enshroud.
Breath deep,
Oh if only I can,
Madness appears,
To take my hand,
Sanity fled,
Heartbeats bled,
Imagination fed,
No more breaths,
Dead.
